let's talk about president obama. we had the story with the banks, had that blair house meeting with the ceos to talk about the economy weeks ago, notebling because no one from the six biggest banks in the country were at that meeting. you spoke to executives and investment bankers, what are they saying? >> very interesting. seems like if these two will get together, the way they talk about each other, obama white house and wall street executives, almost like they need marriage counseling. you try to nail down what the substantive differences are, they really aren't that far apart. obama has not been that tough substantively on wall street, supported the bailout, agreed to the tax cut compromise with republicans. what's the gripe? ben white, who covers wall street for us went and talked to a bunch of wall street executives, gave them anonymity. all these quotes are on background, what is it about obama that bugs you? the blair house conference. none of the six big investment houses were invited to that. where are we?
